Brit.

/ˈmɪlɪəri/, U.S.

/ˈmɪliˌɛri/

Origin: Either (i) a borrowing from Latin; perhaps modelled on a French lexical item. Or (ii) a borrowing from Latin, combined with an English element; perhaps modelled on a French lexical item. Etymons: Latin miliarius ; Latin milium , -ary suffix¹.

Etymology: Either < post-classical Latin miliarius relating to millet (12th cent., rare; compare miliaris , mid 14th cent. in a British source) or independently < classical Latin milium millet (see milium n.¹) + -ary suffix¹, perhaps after Middle French, French miliare, adjective (1575) and noun (1752 denoting miliary fever).

A. adj.

1. Chiefly Medicine and Pathology. Of a structure or pathological lesion: of the size of a millet seed; resembling a millet seed.
